Hymne à l'amour - A Cabaret Journey into the Dark and Shimmering Alleys of Paris
Yael Rasooly, an internationally acclaimed singer, actress, director, and puppeteer, whose works have been showcased in over 30 countries and have received praise from The New York Times, The Guardian, and Télérama, along with Ilya Magalnik, a virtuoso accordion artist who has collaborated with leading artists such as Yasmin Levy, Glykeria, Idan Raichel, and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, invite you to a cabaret journey into the Paris of the 1920s-40s: into the cafes, music halls, and alleys where great chansons, swing, romance, and nostalgia were born.
The performance weaves timeless classics, some well-known and beloved and others hidden musical gems waiting to be rediscovered, in new and exciting renditions in a variety of languages: French, Russian, English, and Hebrew. The music merges with the visual theater style associated with Rasooly, and in the center of the show appears a theatrical puppet in the likeness of Édith Piaf, adding a layer of magic, humor, and nostalgia to the Parisian cabaret atmosphere.
The show has been staged in New York, Chicago, Paris, Stockholm, and other stages worldwide, receiving critical and audience acclaim.
